Lightbulb IceInSpace Member Map!

Hey guys.

A friend of mine, mojo, who I know from my online gaming days has an interest in astronomy and is often my sounding board for a lot of the stuff I do with the site or forums. He's not a very regular visitor or contributor, but he's just come up with a great idea for the site/forums.

The IceInSpace Member Map!

I've added 2 fields to the member profile page, where new and existing members can enter their latitude and longitude.

Using this information, and a map of Australia/NZ/the world, i'll plot everyone's location on the map so you can see where people are, where they're observing from, etc.

I think it'd make for an interesting graphic!

If you don't know your lat/long info, search for it by choosing your country and entering your town.

And then change your profile.

Obviously it's only going to work if people enter their information.. it's optional but I hope everyone takes part!

Thanks
